Fabiano Fidêncio 4d1e78da2f kernel: drop cross-compilation build support
The guest kernel build derived a CROSS_COMPILE=<arch>-linux-gnu- prefix
whenever the target arch differed from the host, the static-build wrapper
switched to a per-arch `-cross-build` image (with buildx/--platform for
s390x), and the builder image installed gcc-<arch>-linux-gnu /
binutils-<arch>-linux-gnu cross toolchains.

None of this is exercised on our side: the kernel is always built on a
native-arch runner. Remove the CROSS_COMPILE plumbing, the cross-build
image/buildx handling and the cross toolchain install.

Kata Containers packaging

Introduction

Kata Containers currently supports packages for many distributions. Tooling to aid in creating these packages are contained within this repository.

Build in a container

Kata build artifacts are available within a container image, created by a Dockerfile. Reference DaemonSets are provided in kata-deploy, which make installation of Kata Containers in a running Kubernetes Cluster very straightforward.

Build static binaries

See the static build documentation.

Build Kata Containers Kernel

See the kernel documentation.

Build QEMU

See the QEMU documentation.

Create a Kata Containers release

See the release documentation.

Packaging scripts

See the scripts documentation.
